We have a well- established practice nursing team; they are able to carry out many of the traditional roles a GP may have once done. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears. They are highly qualified and regularly attend training workshops to enhance their skills. As part of our commitment to collaborative working and seamless care, nurses and health care assistants are also supervised and monitored by doctors and others members of the nursing team.
